I constantly move attachments to various folders (on the same volume) and it would appear that sometimes PM loses track of them (the traditional behavior) and sometimes it does not. I haven't attempted to identify what possible conditions do this or not, but I have noted it since 5.1. Before that I think PM only tracked what was in the Attachments folder (incoming) or wherever it was originally positioned (outgoing). Not very helpful, I know, but thought I'd mention it. Steve
